General Information
An 18th century coaching inn of character with open fires, a wealth of beams & horse brasses, standing in the cobbled square of this pretty Georgian market town. The George is a friendly, family-run Inn, enjoying an excellent reputation for good food in both our Restaurant & Courtyard Bar, together with some fine wines & real ales.
For those who enjoy browsing, Easingwold is full of antique treasures, whilst being only a short drive away from the centre of York with its many historic attractions.
Accommodation
Bedrooms at The George have en-suite facilities. Some are traditionally furnished, some are designed in a more modern style. Each room has a colour television and radio, direct-dial telephone, hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities on a welcome tray. Wi-Fi is available throughout most of the hotel.
Restaurant
The George's cosy oak-beamed Market Place Restaurant offers a wide range of dishes from its menu. We also serve a traditional one, two or three course Sunday lunch. Coffee is served in the relaxing atmosphere of our residents' lounge, with its antique kitchen range. Parties and special occasion dinners are a speciality.
The original open Courtyard is now an attractive area where a wide selection of freshly prepared Bar Meals are served. An emphasis is put on fresh locally sourced ingredients.
The Bar in The George has evolved over the years with the removal of walls and small rooms into a series of connected areas. A fine selection of real ales is served, including locally brewed beers pulled straight from casks conditioned in our cellars. Additional winter warmth is provided by open log fires in the bar and lounge areas.

Location & Things to do in York
The George is situated in Easingwold, just off the A19 trunk road, and is a splendid base for exploring the area. The City of York, North York Moors, the Howardian Hills, the Dales and many hamlets made famous in James Herriot's popular tales are almost on our doorstep.
Castle Howard of 'Brideshead Revisited' fame is close by and many attractions of the East Coast, The Dales and North Yorkshire Moors National Parks are less than an hour's drive away.
Easingwold boasts many sporting facilities and an attractive 18-hole golf course is less than a mile away.
Charles I granted a charter to Easingwold to hold a free market every Friday and two annual wakes or fairs and Easingwold continues to do so to this day. It's as pleasurable to wander around stalls in the Market Place as it is to browse in the numerous antique shops in the town.
The nearby Tourist Information Centre has leaflets with details of the town and maps of local country walks - you can find out many fascinating details about the attractive Georgian buildings which surround the cobbled Market Square.
